Real Weddings - Abi and Reid

Dessert tables were a big trend in 2023, and Abi and Reid decided they would offer one to the guests at their wedding. Included on the menu were full size brownies, 4 inch lemon and chocolate tarts, chocolate covered Oreos, chocolate covered pretzels, and chocolate chip, M&M, and snickerdoodle cookies.

Dessert tables are a great option if you want to break from a traditional large wedding cake and offer your guests a little variety; however, they are not necessarily more cost effective than a wedding cake. With a dessert table, just like any buffet, guests will want to try a little bit of everything. While a guest may pass on a slice of cake, it is really tempting for a guest to grab a small treat on the way to the dance floor or bar. For planning purposes, expect each guest to take an average of 3 items from the dessert table throughout the night.

Think about how you want your desserts displayed and create visual interest by varying the height of your treats. Dessert tables are also a wonderful way to work the "Something old, something new" tradition into your wedding reception. For instance, you could borrow grandma's vintage cake stand or trays from your bridesmaids.
